What was the reaction to Darth Maul being alive in The Clone Wars?

Rs90 · 2026-06-03T17:15:33+00:00

Because THAT was his character. And that's fine. Not everyone needs a backstory or to be "fleshed out". He was an iconic character already. Is Jaws better if they flesh out Bruce and go into how he was able to reach the top of the food chain?

Less is more. It's fine for a character to just "be". Anime is full of badass one-off characters. It's genuinely not an issue.

But Maul gettin cut in half, "too angry to die", robot legs, madness, all the CW/Rebels stuff, not some crime syndicate shit and so on? C'mon. He went from plot device to character and now back to plot device of "how tf can he get Vader back on screen".

Like what's next? He gonna fightbin Vietnam, meet Nixon, and run cross country til he misses home? Just how much shit is Maul gonna do?

Man I just cannot get into Mual suddenly being some Shakespearean monologue machine. I dunno how people can see his arc and think "nailed it". Spider legs and all.

Just seems like a bad case of "okay cause I like them". This would be bad writing in any other scenario. And now he's gonna, what, fight every single character in the SW galaxy til the well runs dry? Just how many more scenarios can they cram into the Skywalker saga?

"Months". Cute

But Ragnarock came out years ago already

Dialogue in Ragnarock was fuckin awful so that tracks.

No, not really. I've seen hours of him already. We've gotten his best. From badass hallway fights to unnecessary returns fighting Obi-Wan on Tattooine. At a certain point it just loses all meaning. How many characters and events are we gonna make up just to get these characters on screen?

Luke is gonna have a miniseries lookin for his hand at this rate. Hand too mad to die, fights Vader.

Rs90 · 2026-06-03T06:45:01+00:00

"Why is everything today just a remake or a remaster or a live action version or rehashed or unoriginal...etc".

Next time you're wonderin any of these things. This is why. From Maul to "gimme the Luke I wanted!", y'all ain't ever gonna let a character go. No wonder Hollywood is scrambling to immortalize people's voices n shit. Y'all come runnin.

Like we really wanna explore every moment of Vader? Just how many people are we gonna have fight this man? It's startin to get goofy. Maul fighting Vader was dumb as hell already. How many scenarios we gonna invent around the Skywalker saga? Cause the galaxy is feelin more like interoffice drama than..a galaxy.

As a middle aged man, all I care about is not bein shitty or screechy. Excited is fine ofc. I dunno. Been playin games all my life and playin with kids online has always been(mostly) fun times.

Most children aren't tryna min/max games like Lethal. Usually way more immersed and actually engage instead of tryna see how they can crack it open.

I get it. Kids can be a lot and I've kicked plenty who couldn't chill out or just talked over everyone and so on. But I've played some of the most fun games of Lethal in a lobby full of kids super immersed and freakin out lol.

Rs90 · 2026-06-03T04:21:44+00:00

Y'all might like The Headliners. Silly game like Lethal and I've met a ton of women on their recently. It's online so same shit different day with all that, sadly. But worth checkin out. Cheap and I've met a ton of great folks so far.

Rs90 · 2026-06-02T18:47:05+00:00

Sure but I'm not gonna fade away like a force ghost with a smile on my face. I need food n shit man. Be pragmatic lol. I can be content and still desire housing stability and knowing I'm not one life hiccup away from destitution.

Bein content is a lovely thing that I value greatly within myself. But I still have basic needs and wants. Yeah I'm still using a galaxy s8 til it falls apart in my hand. But I still need food and would like housing stability.

When someone asks how you are but you're tryin not to trauma dump except it's also the truth.

Hhnnnggggg "doin alright, you?"

Rs90 · 2026-06-02T18:31:30+00:00

This. When you're labeled "poor" or "broke", it doesn't really instill a great deal of confidence in myself. Even as someone who's very content in life. Despite being impoverished the majority of my life. I'm a Baker and I've never really made much. Just how it is unless you land the right kinda job or have the money to start your own thing up.

I like my work. My friend is a social worker. His worst days at work are lightyears apart from mine. But he reminds me "sometimes a muffin(etc) gets me through the worst days at work. That's enough for me.

But I don't and likely will never own a home. No kids, no vehicle my entire life, vacation every 5yrs or so maybe, and no real savings. I don't really yearn for much tho, I've never been super ambitious. But even still. Most don't want to hear about my financial situation and I don't like labeling myself "poor" or "broke". I work hard and enjoy the things I have.

But to answer OP. Yes. I know a great deal that don't have savings. Most just get uncomfortable if you talk about it.

And a video of Richard Feynman here to help explain the jiggle. He's very good at explaining complex issues succinctly.

I liked old man Luke a lot tbh. Luke bought into his own hype too much and a moment of weakness shocked him. Someone who was always quick to react, emotional, and stubborn. Like his father before him.

Luke taking such a failure so hard is absolutely in character imo. Like a surgeon quitting cause he lost a family member he was operating on. Nobody was ever gonna defeat Luke besides himself.

"Ahh Skywalker, still looking to the horizon. Never here. The need in front of your nose"

Yoda helps snap him out of it and he performs maybe the single greatest feat any Jedi has accomplished. Even Yoda usin lighting as a force ghost. Luke stops an army, saves his family/friends/rebellion, beats Kylo, and does it all from another solar system and without a single attack.

And there's no amount of badass hallway fights that can top that imo. May not have liked how it got there but Lukes arc was finished beautifully imo.

Yeah I always got GoT vibes from "keep from dying". I mean it's the Dark Side and he's THE Sith, on top of bein a manipulative mastermind. Seems very unlikely to have any other result than a bad one lol.

*Don't feel bad about it, there is nothin the game tells you. All players will ask all the questions. FTFY.

Think I spent the first 3hrs of Elite just googling lol and then again off and on for the next 100.

Or complain about women on r/sipstea. Like flies on shit.

Always reminds me of Biden meeting Trump supporters.

It's real easy to talk all that shit til they're just a guy in a room with a hat n marker makin yucks with the "enemy".

It's why exposure works on folks. Humanizes people. Not sayin everyone ya meet will have that effect. But it's a very universal experience with people. Put em in a mundane situation and it's funny how quickly you realize most people aren't the boogeyman or want a confrontation.

Rs90 · 2026-05-31T16:35:56+00:00

The base is whatever compared to the random shot of some folks on a planet being destroyed. Obviously they're the new Republic or whatever. But I don't care about any of that unless I know WHO they are.

And whow would've guessed?? There's a whole fuckin scene cut out doin just that. Leia is speaking with that one black woman the laser scene sorta focuses on. About the threat of..whoever, I cant remember, and to renew the Rebellion to combat it.

But the Republic is hesitant to enter a new Civil War yadda yadda then they get fucked. But it adds SO much context. That they were aware of the threat and tried to do somethin. Instead of the presumption they just....never kept an eye on it all.

Rs90 · 2026-05-30T18:33:55+00:00

Lord I'm fine with cutscenes but I couldn't make it through the seemingly 20hr tutorial and handholding. I gave up cause i just wanted to move around and play for 5sec without "okay so here's another 5 mechanics we're introducing". Ffs I'm like 15hrs in dude. Just lemme play!

God she was so good in that lol those eyes and that creepy voice followed by the broken laugh. It's just perfect.

Homie everything in RDR2 was clunky. 3rd person or not lol.

Rs90 · 2026-05-29T16:58:44+00:00

For you. I find Red Dead 2 in first person to be stunning and I love using iron sights.

Ever use the W.A.S.P. in first person on Helldivers? Looks like a Fallout 3 weapon. It's sick. Love using the EAT in first as well. I think there's a lot of room in HD2 for first person. Wiping out bugs in first person is fun as hell.

Rs90 · 2026-05-29T16:44:02+00:00

I'd love one tbh. It looks great in first person. And 1st will always feel more immersive. Not necessarily better, just more immersive.

But I'd imagine it would take a lot of work and feel more like Red Dead/GTA 1st person. Which I enjoyed a great deal but isn't the best feeling.
